Desert shrimp farmer switches to producing biofuel

Heck, I didn’t even know there were shrimp farmers in the Arizona desert. But one of them, Desert Sweet Biofuels, is transitioning to creating biofuel. Why?

It is indeed remarkable that years of work and experimentation in the art of growing shrimp in the Arizona desert gives us a tremendous head start in the commercial production of algae. An old saying in the shrimp business is that “shrimp farmers don’t raise shrimp, they raise algae”

So, they’ve decided to create biofuel from the algae rather than shrimp.
